Perkolator - Chicago

A great little coffee shop with the best darn Cuban sandwich I've ever had in Chicago. A splendid selection of pastries and specialty coffees as well as some interesting iced concoctions. The staff is always incredible friendly, and the owners are neighborhood locals who are just lovely people. Bring the whole family as they're kid friendly too!

Love this place. The staff is always welcoming and informative. The food is fantastic and fresh. The coffee is delicious and fresh. The atmosphere is vintage and retro and it's always fun to check out what they have in their record collection. Always a great place to go.

When you start with consistently friendly service, have fresh and tasty food coffee, put some fun local art on the walls and then add a record store on the side...you are gonna get an excellent place to stop and get your morning coffee, socialize and have a snack!

Great atmosphere!!!!! You can get a delicious coffee while you shop for vinyl, look at cool artwork and listen to great music....all while supporting local business.

Yesterday was my first visit to Perkolator. It won't be my last. I loved it. I was a bit overwhelmed my the menu, but the young man behind the counter put me right at ease. I had the London Fog Latte and an egg and cheese sandwich. Both were delightful! Maybe I'll even become a regular customer!!
